Masturbation - Is It a Sin According to the Bible?

1) Direct answer
Yes. Even if the Bible does not name the act by that word, masturbation springs from lust and uncleanness, and that is sin.
2) Scriptural explanation
- Jesus traced adultery to the heart: “Whoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart” (Matthew 5:28). Masturbation feeds on lustful thoughts; that’s where it lives.
- The works of the flesh include “uncleanness” and “lasciviousness” (Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 5:3; Colossians 3:5). Self-gratification driven by lust falls right there.
- “Flee fornication… your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost… glorify God in your body” (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). You can’t glorify God by indulging lust.

Is Eternal Security Biblical?

1) Direct Answer
Yes—eternal security is biblical for the truly born-again believer. Those who receive Eternal Life by the new birth are kept by God and cannot be finally lost. But a mere profession, a momentary emotion, or operating gifts without the new birth is not security.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- John 10:27-29: “My sheep hear my voice… I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish… no man is able to pluck them out of my hand.”
- John 5:24: “He that heareth my word, and believeth… hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
- Ephesians 1:13-14; 4:30: Believers are “sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise… until the day of redemption.”

What Does the Bible Say About Homosexuality? Is It a Sin?

1) Direct Answer
Yes. The Bible calls homosexual practice sin. Any sexual act outside the one-man, one-woman covenant of marriage is sin. Yet the same Bible promises full forgiveness and deliverance to anyone who repents and believes the Gospel.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Creation pattern: “Male and female created He them” (Genesis 1:27). “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife” (Genesis 2:24). Jesus reaffirmed this as God’s design “from the beginning” (Matthew 19:4–6; Mark 10:6–9).
- Law’s clarity: “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination” (Leviticus 18:22; see also 20:13).
- Sodom’s warning: The men of Sodom pursued men (Genesis 19), and Jude 7 says they gave themselves to “fornication, and going after strange flesh,” set forth as an example.

What Does the Bible Say About Women Pastors?

1) Direct answer
No. The Bible does not authorize women to be pastors or to teach and exercise authority over men in the church.
2) Scriptural explanation
- 1 Timothy 2:11-14: “Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man...” Paul grounds this in creation and the fall, not in culture.
- 1 Corinthians 14:34-35: “Let your women keep silence in the churches… for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.” That speaks to public authoritative teaching in the assembly.
- 1 Corinthians 11:3: “The head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.” God set an order.

Do Pets Have a Soul and Do They Go to Heaven?

1) Direct Answer
- Pets have life and a spirit, but not a human soul that can be saved. They do not go to heaven on the same basis as the redeemed do.
- Yet, God cares for His creatures, and there will be animals in the restored Kingdom when creation is delivered.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Man alone was made in God’s image and received the breath of life to become a living soul (Genesis 1:26–27; 2:7). That’s why Jesus spoke of the soul that can be lost or saved (Matthew 10:28).
- The Bible distinguishes man and beast: “Who knows the spirit of man that goes upward, and the spirit of the beast that goes downward to the earth?” (Ecclesiastes 3:21).

Are There Animals in Heaven?

Yes. The Bible shows animals in God’s realm and promises them in the world to come.
Scriptural explanation:
- Heaven: The Bible says heaven opened and the Lord came on a white horse, and “the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses” (Revelation 19:11,14). Elisha also saw “horses and chariots of fire” around him (2 Kings 6:17). You see, that’s a heavenly scene including animals.
- The Kingdom on earth: When the curse is lifted under Christ’s reign, creation is restored. “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb… the lion shall eat straw like the ox… they shall not hurt nor destroy” (Isaiah 11:6–9; 65:25). Romans 8:19–22 says all creation groans now, but will be delivered into the liberty of the sons of God. So animals are included in that restoration.
- Their nature: Animals are not redeemed like people. Man has a soul that goes upward to God, but the beast’s spirit is earthly (Ecclesiastes 3:21). God cares even for the sparrow (Matthew 10:29), yet salvation is about the new birth in man. Animals share the blessing of a lifted curse, not the redemption of a soul.
Simple logic:

What Does the Bible Say About Christian Tithing? Should a Christian Tithe?

1) Direct answer
Yes. A Christian should tithe. The Bible shows that a tenth belongs to the Lord, and God uses it to support His ministry. It is not a bondage of the Law but an act of faith, honor, and obedience.
2) Scriptural explanation
- Before the Law: Abraham gave tithes to Melchizedek (Genesis 14:18–20). Jacob vowed a tenth to God (Genesis 28:22). So tithing isn’t just a Mosaic rule; it’s a faith response to God’s blessing.
- Under the prophets: “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse” with a promise of open windows of heaven and the rebuke of the devourer (Malachi 3:8–10).
- Jesus affirmed it: “These ought ye to have done” (Matthew 23:23; Luke 11:42). He rebuked hypocrisy, not tithing. He said don’t leave it undone while also keeping the weightier matters.

Who Was Cain's Wife?

1) Direct Answer
Cain married his sister—one of the daughters of Adam and Eve.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- The Bible says Adam “begat sons and daughters” (Genesis 5:4). Those daughters are not named, but they were there.
- Eve is called “the mother of all living” (Genesis 3:20). So every human—including Cain’s wife—came from Adam and Eve.
- Later God forbade close-kin marriages (Leviticus 18), but that law came after the early generations.

What Does the Bible Say About Interracial Marriage?

1) Direct answer
The Bible does not forbid interracial marriage. Scripture draws the line at faith, not skin color: a believer is to marry “in the Lord.”
2) Scriptural explanation
- One human family: “He hath made of one blood all nations of men” (Acts 17:26). God made us one race of mankind.
- God’s concern in marriage is faith: “Only in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 7:39). “Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers” (2 Corinthians 6:14).
- When Israel was told not to marry certain nations (Deuteronomy 7:3–4), the reason is given: “for they will turn away thy son from following Me.” It was about idolatry, not color.
